Kevin's birthday is in 2 days! So today is saturday at bibili na ako ng gift para sakanya. I failed to bring kylie or adelaine with me so im going alone. They always have their own things to do, so they don't have time going with me.

Simple lang ang suot ko, scoop-back na fitted black crop-top shirt and cream cargo skirt then white sneakers lang. Buti nalang at nagtipid ako this week para may pambili ako ng gift para sakanya, its my first gift for him!

The ride from our dorm to the mall went smooth, hindi ganun ka-init at ka-tagal. Medyo madaming tao, kaya uunahin ko muna ang pakay ko. Nagmadali akong sumakay sa escalator, doon nalang ako bibili sa fav. shop nya. I was busy checking my phone, when someone touched my hand in the escalator. I automatically turned my head and found out that its him, hendrix.

I didn't know how to react, i didn't know how to stay cool kahit grabe na yung tibok ng puso ko.

Pataas sya at pababa naman ako and when i reached the top, nagulat ako nung biglang tumaas sya ulit. I remembered how our conversation went the last time we talked, sobrang nahiya ako kaya hindi ako nakapagreply, wait how many days na ba? maybe 4?

He's wearing a white short-sleeved button-down polo na may print na guitars and denim pants paired in black converse. May silver bracelet and silver digital casio watch. Im so amused at his fashion skills, he knows how to mix up with clothes that makes him look good.

"Uy?" he was standing infront of me, he was so tall na hanggang balikat nya lang ako.

"Uy? Nagshop ka rin?" i tried my best to look normal, though im shouting inside. He's holding a designer paper bag, mukhang nakabili na sya.

"Ah oo, ikaw ba?" distracted by how i feel, i remained looking at the floor.

"Yo? Ayos ka lang ba dan?" i looked up, and gave him a very awkward smile.
"Im buying something, hindi ka pa ba tapos mamili?" he hissed, cutely.

"Ouch, you want me gone?"

"No! No-- thats, not what i mean," i closed my eyes briefly, ghad im so embarassed!
"San ba punta mo?" we started walking, since nasa dulo pa yung shop.

"Ah, sa trend concept, dun ako pupunta," he looked around, i wonder what he's searching.
"Thats a store mostly for men's wear, bakit gusto mo dun?" I stopped for a bit, thinking if i should be honest.

"Its for kevin, birthday nya kasi sa monday," he displayed an amused look.

"Ang sweet mo naman, you sure wala ka talagang feelings sakanya?" We reached the store, he goes in first.

"Pinagsasabi mo?" i laughed briefly.
"I told you were good friends, best friends to be exact," i said while almost close to laughing. I ran out to the counter, tumatanggap kasi sila dito ng customized shirt.

"Kuya, i ordered online po," the man at the counter looked at me.
"Under what name po mam?"
"Ah, its Dania Andres," nagtype na sya sa keyboard at sinenyasan ako na mag-wait sa couch. Hendrix was looking at the displayed shirts, he's right that its full of men's wear.

Yung sinend ko na design ay may maliit na banana sa gilid at may caption na BANANA BOY. Mahilig kasi sya sa saging kaya naisipan ko yun. The other shirt has a little monkey printed on the right side, at may caption na DONT MESS UP WITH A. Both were black shirts.
